An Amish Murder Page #4

do a damn thing...

...but if you want to

review your case with me...

I can offer you the benefits

of my dazzling insights.

Why don't you have a seat...

Kate?

- How about you call

me chief burkholder?

- Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, chief.

Hey, Kate.

Sheriff, hey.

- Bci?

- Yeah.

Nate detrick.

- Yeah, tomasetti. We've met.

- Oh, yeah? Where?

- Last summer at your swearing in.

- Oh, right.

- Yeah, great speech.

War stories.

- Yeah, he was a state

trooper in Alaska.

Hey, tell me.

That thing you said, is it true?

You actually killed a bear?

- Well...

I mean, it was in the line of duty.

It was either him or me, so...

Didn't want to get shot...

...it shouldn't have come

down to the station.

- Oh, yeah, yeah. Right, right.

That's the line I remember...

...station... with you.

That's funny.

- Um, Kate, um...

Did the mayor call?

This morning?

Um...

Yeah, three times.

Why?

Is that why you're here?

- No, no.

I mean, I was... I was

gonna drop by anyway.

- He wants your office to

take over the investigation?

No, no, no.

I-I set him straight on that.

Um, I just wanted to let you know

...that if you need the county

to do anything for you...

...run some legwork, just,

you know, let me know.

I'm there for you.

- Okay, Nate.

I appreciate that.

You got it.

Is there a file ready?

Of course there are.

You can get Mona to

make some copies for you.

- Auggie.

- Morning, sheriff.

- Um...

- You got a minute?

Yup.

- Um, auggie, this is

John tomasetti, bci.

- Ah!

- The mayor.

- Glad you're here.

- Thanks.

So, Kate, uh...

...the town council would like.

...all public statements.

...on this situation we're having.

...to be cleared through them.

Seriously? Why?

- Well, they feel that

it's taken a long time.

...to develop the tourism here...

- Tourism? That's their concern?

They're not more concerned

about catching the...

- Kate, all public statements

will be cleared through them.

...until further notice.

Now, if you have an issue with this...

I certainly do have an issue.

- Kate, your attitude,

it's not helping.

Okay? It's not helping here.

Now, you were hired.

...because of your special sensitivity.

...to the dual nature of our community.

We value our amish citizens.

...and not just because of

the revenue they bring us.

But we did not think for a moment...

- what, that I would have

anything important to do?

- Oh, Kate, that is nonsense.

- Really, auggie?

- Yes, you are being...

- whoa, whoa, auggie.

Auggie, let's go grab a

cup of coffee, my friend.

I'm buying.

I'm sure Kate understands the situation.

...a little better than we do.

Come on.

Come on.
